FOLDING DISH ALIGNMENT
IN THIS SECTION WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO ALIGN/TUNE YOUR 80CM FOLDING ARM DISH
!

STEP1 : YOUR EQUIPMENT

!

Now everything is assembled this is what your kit should look like

STEP 2: UNPACK AND CONNECT

!

Unpack your items and setup your TV. 

Install your remote control batteries.

Turn your TV on.

 

PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE "MENU" OF THE RECEIVER

AND CHANGE ANY SETTINGS OUR RECEIVERS ARE PRETUNED.

 

STEP 3: CONNECT YOUR RECEIVER TO TV

!

1. Connect your yellow / white / red cable to your tv.

2. If you do not have these connections on your tv , connect an antenna cable to the RF-OUT and plug it directly into the antenna connection on the back of your TV. DO NOT CONNECT BOTH.

3. Connect your satellite cable to the LNB IN on your satellite receiver.

4. Connect your power cable to your wall socket.

5. Turn the power switch on the back of the receiver "ON"

6. Turn on your TV on and select the correct AV channel your TV remote control, every TV is different please refer to your TV manual.

7. Press the power button on the front of the strong receiver.

8. The receiver should now be turned on, if there is a red light showing, please hit the power button one more  time.

STEP 4: ALIGNMENT PREP

!

Select the the language you would like to use.

Press "group" or sat list on your remote and select

the corresponding satellite name for the service you are

trying to find. 

Optus C1 = Optus Aurora Card "Gwn,Win,Abc,Sbs"

Optus D1 = Abc,Sbs, Abc2

Optus D2 = Overseas stations and local religious stations

Pas      8   = Selectv

You should now have a blank screen or "no or bad signal"

Now its all setup and ready to align, place your dish and tripod

where there is clear line of site to the North East direction.

 Run your 20metre cable to the dish.

 

STEP 5: SETTING THE ELEVATION

!

Setup your elevation on the back bracket ,

Line up the 80cm marking with the correct elevation for your

area.

BOLT POSITIONS:

1-A 17* / 57*      DEGREES  (IDEAL FOR PERTH)

1-B 5* / 44*         DEGREES

2-A 44* / 82*      DEGREES (REQUIRED MAINLY EASTERN STATES)

 

For example if yolu requre an elevation of 58* and your bolt position is 1-A, you will be unable to achieve this as the maximum degrees for 1-A is 57*. You will needs to put the bolts into 2-A.

 

  

 

STEP 6: USING SAT FINDER / COMPASS

!

Plug your satellite finder inline next to your satellite dish.

Plug the "REC" to receiver and "LNB" to dish.

Turn the dial till the needle sits on"5" and emits a high pitch squeel.


Use your compass to work out the general direction of where to

point the dish. Refer to the diagrams provided in the written

instructions or select your location and satellite below from the

provided dishpointer application.

The most popular satellite Optus C1 from Perth is 56* North/East

and 33* elevation. 

STEP 7: LINING UP THE DISH

!

Make sure you have clear line of site to the sky and your sat finder 

in your hand and the needle reads "5".

Move your dish to the "West" , now move your satellite dish

to the North East direction, you should get a spike.

Once you have a spike on the needle between 7-10 tighten the

bolts on your dish. If the needle go's up to ten , wind it back to "7"

and keep moving your dish trying to find the "maximum" signal

 that we can achieve. 

STEP 8: SUCCESS

!

You should now see the Optus Aurora or Selectv tuning station,

this station displays notifications, if you can see this screen

everything is working correctly and you can move on to STEP 10.

If you still have no picture, you have either locked on to the wrong

 satellite or your signal is to weak. Please repeat "STEP7" until you

see the tuning station.

Remove the satellite finder from the dish and plug your long cable straight to the LNB/DISH.

If you are unable to receive the tuning station still after repeating STEP7 please call our technical line.

STEP 9: CARD ACTIVATION

!

Slide your card in to the card slot in your receiver.

Call Optus aurora to activate your card.

Optus Aurora: 1300 301 680

Your card can take upto 24 hours to activate , keep your dish

aligned and your receiver turned on with the card inserted.

your tv stations. Press the up or down arrow on your remote

control to change between channels.
